Information Operations
The AOC is on the front lines of an undeclared information war. The defense of Army networks across the world is imperative. It is obvious that no “out-of-the-box” security tool will suffice to protect the integrity of the Army’s digital domain. Consequently, Army network managers need to do a lot more in terms of Enclave Site Defense. For guidance, they can turn to the Army’s standard doctrine. A shown in this paper, defending a network enclave is not much different than defending a hilltop in the jungle. The same principles of war apply. As seen in FM 100-5, the Army does not rely on weapon systems alone to guarantee success on the battlefield. Instead, commanders deploy weapons systems in conjunction with some time-honored tactics that favor offensive over defensive operations. The same should be true for Enclave Site Defense. Defending a site is more than just deploying the weapon systems. It is also about detecting the attack and reacting to it. This paper will discuss these very issues.

It is our hope and intent to develop the security community in the two following ways.
